Hello everyone,

I am new to straight razor shaving. I just bought my first razor here in the classified section and I was trying to save a few bucks buy making my own leather paddle strop. I saw tutorial here on how to make them and thought I give it a shot. I got a paint mixing stick from lowes and a piece of leather from woodcrafts. I glued the leather strip on to stick and got some glue on the leather and it wont come off. is the strop done for or will the glue eventually wear off? also the paddle seems to be warped a little does that matter?

thanks,

Mafuzul
